Global Tire Cord Market to Reach US$6.5 Billion by the Year 2026
Tire cord is an engineered material used in tire manufacturing to reinforce the rubber matrix of tires, and functions as the backbone of tire carcass which helps in providing comfort, safety, and stability to vehicles. Tire cord is a shaped or twisted structure made out of single or multiple tiered strips of inorganic material such as steel or organic polymers such as polyester, rayon or nylon. Tire cord is used as a reinforcement material for different types of tires including light vehicle tires, passenger car tire, heavy vehicle tire, and off-the-road tires to increase the durability and strength of these tires. Different types of tire cords used in the manufacturing of tires include steel cords, dipped nylon cords, polyester cords, rayon cords, fiberglass cords, aramid cords, and PEN cords. Growing adoption of cap ply technology, which uses additional fabric layers to hold steel belts in position inside the tires have fueled the growth of PA6,6-based tire cord reinforcements. Cap ply technology continued to spread from North America and Europe to various other regions, and the technology is increasingly adopted by several tire-producing regions.
As tire cord forms an integral part of tires providing safety, stability, durability, and comfort to vehicles and increased driving performance, the global tire cord market is directly linked to dynamics of the automotive industry, especially the tires market. In addition to the general economy, the market for tire cords is highly variable and dependent on several other factors such as regional automotive market growth, tire demand, both in OEM and aftermarkets, sales of passenger cars, increase in usage of commercial vehicles as a means of transport, tire radialization and tire production trends, among others. Opportunities in the tire cord market are particularly influenced by tire production and OEM automobile production levels. Higher number of automobiles produced translates into increased use of tires, which in turn creates the need for tire cord in the production of OEM tires. Therefore, disruptions in automobile production tend to distort opportunities in the tires market and subsequently in the tire cord market. In addition to the OEM demand, replacement demand from vehicles plying on the road offers growth opportunities.
Amid the COVID-19 crisis, the global market for Tire Cord estimated at US$5.4 Billion in the year 2022, is projected to reach a revised size of US$6.5 Billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 4.7% over the analysis period.
